LONDON : FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 22, 1838. It will be noticed with great pleasure by all the friends of the negro, that the conduct of Barbadoes, St. Vincent's, and St. Kitt's, in emancipating the apprentices on August Ist, was justly praised in both Houses of Parliament last night. There is no longer any doubt, therefore, on this interesting subject, and no doubt whatever that the period of complete emancipation in the West India Islands is rapidly approaching. The public will learn with satisfac tion, too, from Lord GLENELG'S statement, that the Go vernor of Jamaica has brought the subject of complete emancipation on August Ist before the Council, and the Council acquiesced in his recommendation. Sir GEORGE GREY completed the pleasing information, by adding that the Legislature of Jamaica was convened for the sth of this month, to take the subject into consideration ; and it is the general opinion of all the influential men in Jamaica, that to carry the emancipation completely into effect on August Ist, will be conducive to the best interests of the colony. This is really animating news for those who have of late struggled in behalf of the Negroes ; and it confirms fully the announcement we made some months ago, that such would be the probable effect of Sir GEORGE STRICK LAND'S motion. Much praise, then, and much honour be to those noble and persevering men who have, by the pub lic agitation of this question, convinced even the planters that it is their interest, as it is the interest of all men, to be kindly, humane, and just. Nor will we on this occasion withhold from the Govern ment, and particularly from the Colonial department, our well-merited approbation. We knew positively, and in truth we stated at the time, that although Lord GLENELG and Sir GEORGE GREY were compelled, by a sense of public duty, to resist in Parliament the motions of the friends of the Abolition, they have individually been long and ardently attached to that cause, and have used their individual and official influence to bring about, through the instrumentality of the local legislatures, the consummation which seems now happily approaching. The emancipation, if accomplished by the local Legislatures, will be effected, it is to be hoped, in the best manner, because it will spring less from outward constraint, than from the conviction of the planters. They will, therefore, take all the necessary measures to make it safe and advalitageous both to them selves and the apprentices. For this beneficial result, the public is much indebted to Lord GLENELG and Sir GEORGE GREY. But while such good news comes to us from the West India Islands, we see nothing similar from the continent. We hear of Hill Coolies being carried by Messrs. GLAD STONE and Co. to Demerara, but we hear nothing of the Court of Policy taking measures to emancipate the ap prentices on August Ist. As Demerara will have in these Hill Coolies a large supply of quasi free labourers, less ob jection must exist there than in the other colonies to ex tinguish at once the system of apprenticeship. Messrs. GLADSTONE and Co., gentlemen who build churches and process great piety, will be expected by the public to prove by their acts the justice of their claims to superior holiness. Lot them emancipate their apprentices, and then perhaps the public will think that they do net mean to make slaves of the Hill Coolies. In answer to a q uestion put by Mr. WALLACE in the licuse of Commons last night, Mr. POULETT THOMSON stated that Government intends not to bring the altera tion proposed in the Sugar Bounties into operation till the Io'll of October next. Oil what pretext, we should like to know, is even the imperfect measure proposed by the Government to be so long postponed ? The plan ters and refiners, and indeed the whole commu nity, were officially informed last year that an alteration in the bounties would be made this year. In February last the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER repeated the notice, awl again when he brought on the Budget. The Sugar Duties Act is an annual Act, and it expires on the sth of next month. That, therefore, is the natural period to which all the sugar refiners and dealers, must have looked to see the new law come into operation ; and if they are not prepared for it they, and not the public, should suffer. They have had ample warning, and it will be a grass injustice to the public not to carry imme diately into effect at least the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER'S proposed reduction of the bounty. The consequence of course will be that the refiners will put forth all their power, and will refine as much as possible in the next three months. In that period they will work almost exclusively for the foreign market, and the home market being kept short, the public will have to pay an additional price for refined sugar, as well as pay the bounty on all which the refiners can make and export. The demand for sugar for the refiners will, of course increase, and the price of all sugars will be raised to the public. It is a nice device to put a few hun dred thousand pounds into the pockets of the owners of and dealers in sugar. It will add in reality to the tax which the present system now levies on the public, in the enhanced price of sue for the behoof of the planters ; and it will take in the shape of bounty a very considerable sum cut of the Exchequer. We should not, in fact, be surprised if nearly as much sugar were refined in the next three months as on an average is refined in the whole year; and if the Exchequer, in its present state of impoverish ment, were required to pay upwards of 300,0001. bounty on refined sugar exported. The certain saving of bringing even the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S proposed alteration into operation on the sth of July, instead of October 10, supposing half the average quantity annually exported be refined in the next three months, will be about 70,0001. If Mr. CLAY'S mo tion be carried the certain saving will be about three times that sum. Now, as the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER has announced a considerable deficiency of the revenue, and as an increase of expenditure is more certain than an increase of the amount of taxes, it is wholly un justifiable in him to throw away 300,0001., or even 20,000/. on the owners of sugar. Mr. THOMPSON said he had seen the sugar refiners, and the " Court Circular" informs us that a deputation of those manufacturers and of the West India body had an interview with him on Tuesday. We take it for granted, therefore, that the arguments used at the interview induced the President of the Board of Trade to consent to the schema for levying at least an additional 70,0001. on the public, to enrich the planters. We do not ask what those arguments were ; they were probablyof a nature not exactly suited to the public ear ; but Mr. THostsoN and Mr. Rica will be required to state some valid reasons for plundering the public to enrich the planters, and to show that some specific injury to the national welfare will arise from now abolishing or reducing a bounty which they have shown to be unjust, and which expires by law on July the • sth. We do not blame them for its present existence, because they did not establish it ; and their's is the merit of having demonstrated, by actual experiment, that it is based in fraud ; but for them to continue it after July sth will be to re-enact the injustice, and they alone will be responsible for every shilling taken out of the pocket of the public, whether directly by the bounty, or indirectly by the enhanced price of sugar after July sth. What with corn-laws, coal monopolies, sugar bounties, and other similar schemes by which the different classes mutually plunder each other, a far greater sum is, we believe, an nually raised by this indirect taxation than is required to pay the interest of the national debt. Not a human being, ift. 4 .• 3V„, :r,. .79 1t 19 • ' *O4; auz. in the long run, except those connected with the levying taxes, is benefited by these schemes of mutual plunder ; but industry is restricted, every occupation is harassed by noxious regulations, and the separate classes are conti nually brought into vexatious and angry collision. It is high time that the public welfare should be preferred to class interests, and that public men should be able to state some more valid reasons for continuing this noxious system of mutual aggression than those which are whispered into the ear of the President of the Board of Trade by deputa tions of corn-growers or sugar-refiners. To continue the present system of sugar bounties one day beyond the sth of next month, and not then to bring into operation at least the reduction proposed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, will be, we assert, wantonly and wilfully to plunder the public for the benefit of the sugar owners ; and the present duties can only be continued one day, after they expire by law, by the act of the present Ministers. The long-agitated question of the seizure of the Vixen by Russia was again brought before the House of Commons last night by Sir STRATFORD CANNING, in the form of motion for the appointment of a Select Committee, to in quire into the truth of an allegation contained in the peti tion of the owners of that vessel, to the effect that they acted in that unfortunate affair under the approval and sanction of the Noble Foreign Secretary and the British Ambassador at the Porte. After a long and not uninterest ing debate, in the course of which the Right Hon. MOVER, Dr. LUSHINGTON, Lord STANLEY, Lord PALMERSTON, Sir ROBERT PEEL and Lord JOHN RUSSELL severally ad dressed the House, the motion was negatived by the slender majority of sixteen votes—there being one hundred and eighty-four votes given for the motion, and only two hundred against it. We call this majority very slender, inasmuch as the question at issue was not one of party, but one involving both the foreign and mercantile relations of this country. Our opinions respecting the conduct of the Government in the affair of the Vixen nre well known to our readers. Adverse they have always been to the course pursued by the Noble Foreign Secretary, and adverse they will continue to be, for any effect produced upon us by the speeches of the Noble Lord, and his supporters in the House of Com mons last night. Dr. LUSHINGTON laboured hard to prove that in declining to give any opinion on the legality of the expedition of the Vixen when applied to by the owners, as to whether England recognised the right of Russia to blockade the Circassian coast, the Foreign Secretary acted with the greatest prudence—inasmuch as he reserved to himself the right of taking what future steps circumstances might render necessary, without either yielding to Russia, or provoking a war with that power. Now, with all due respect for the opinions of the Learned Civilian, such a line of argument appears to us exceedingly erroneous. In 1783 Russia, from a political motive, which we shall presently advert to, acknowledged the Sovereignty of Soudjonk kale, and some other ports along the coast of Circassia, to belong de jure to Turkey. At that time, as well as since, Circassia was recognized by Great Britain and all the other European Powers—Russia excepted —as a free and independent State. In 1831 Russia, to veil her aggres sions upon the freedom and independence of the Circassians from the Great Powers of Western Europe, and parti cularly from England, obtained from the Porte a formal cession of the territory which she had recog nized as belonging to the SULTAN on the coast of Circassia in 1783. This involved no sacrifice on the part of the Porte. The ceded territory no more belonged to the SULTAN than does the actual sovereignty of Jeru salem to the King of NAPLES ; and the right of Russia to a foot of ground in Circassia is not a jot better founded than would a claim of MEHEMET AEl's to the dominion of Judea, founded upon the formal cession of that country to the Egyptian Viceroy by his Neapolita❑ MAJESTY. Well, in 1831, the fact of this mock cession by Turkey to Russia of certain ports on the Circassian coast was formally communicated by Count NESSELRODE to Lord PALMERSTON—with an intimation that the imperial Government intended to established quarantine regulations along the eastern shores of the Black Sea. What answer did his Lordship return to such an extra ordinary communication? Did he renionstate against such an atrocious attempt to deprive a free people of their in dependence ? Did be attempt to show that Turkey could no more cede Circassia to the Emperor than she could ' cede Gibraltar or 'Malta? Did he intimate that the mock ce. ,, sion of Circassia by the Porte, at the instigation of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, afforded a satisfac tory clue to the political motives of that Cabinet in 1783, in formally recognising . the SULTAN as the lawful Soscreign of the finest harbours of that country ? The Noble Foreign Secretary did none of these things. lle was silent, and of course Russia interpreted his silence as a tacit acknowledgment that England was not disposed to dispute any claim she might set up. Dr. LUSHINGTON argues that his Lordship's silence left it open for him, at any future period, to adopt what course he might think proper, and, therefore, that he acted wisely. We con tend the very contrary to be the fact—especially as this silence has been long enough to allow Russia, in the face of Europe, to effect settlements on the Circassian coast. Well, his Lordship had six years for reflection before the sailing of the Vixen. Surely in that long period he had ample time to make up his mind as to what line of conduct it behoved England to pursue. When applied to by the owners of the Vixen, in 1836, he gave them clearly to understand that the Government of this country recognized no impedi ment to a direct traffic with the Circassian tribes. His Lordship asserts that he did not encourage the owners to undertake such a voyage. We ask in our turn did he discourage them ? Did he point out to them that the consequences might be a war with Russia ? We distinctly and emphatically state that such is not our impression. On the contrary, we do not believe that any merchant would have hesitated to undertake such en expedition, after receiving such explanations from a Mi nister of the Crown as his Lordship admits having given. There is no use in trying to hoodwink the country. By permitting Russia to seize and confiscate the Vi al p, without protesting against such a fiolation of our flag , her MAJESTY'S Ministers have as formally ceded the claims of Russia to Circassia as if they had signed a dozen treaties to that effect. Had Russia not dared to capture the Vixen, we should have been entertained for months with a flourish of trumpets from the Foreign -office about the naval terrors inspired by England ; but as the CZAR manifested a determination to carry out his projects with a hostile hand, the Noble Foreign Secretary took care to back out of the matter by the official extinction of Mr. URQUHART, and the desertion of his quondam dispatch bearer, Mr. BELL. As this may be the last time we may have occasion to refer to this affair, we shall conclude with stating, that we regard it as every way disgraceful to the Government, and humiliating to the national dignity of the British Empire. The Railway Companies are getting up petitions against the Bill for the conveyance of the mails by railway. Mr. PEASE presented two last night, and we believe one or two of the same description were presented on Wed nesday. We are not aware at present what the arguments are upon which the Companies rest their opposition to the measure. As soon, however, as the petitions are printed— should they be thought entitled to that distinction—we shall subject them to a careful examination. All that we can gather of the sentiments of those few persons who take part with the Companies is contained in the effusions of a single Morning Contemporary, who seems to possess much more zeal than discretion in the cause of which he professes himself the advocate. If we are to take him as the exponent of the views of the Railway Companies, it is clear that these Companies carry their pretensions to the extent of a perfect and most rigid monopoly. The Companies are ready to give every as sistance in their power to further the conveyance of the mails by railway, but they cannot submit to Legislative in terference. If they are to be compelled by law to allow the mails a free passage on their roads, it is " the sheerest piece of wanton and gratuitous robbery ever attempted. It is impossible"— that it is " to state the case too strongly, or to apply to it epithets, however forcible, that are not thoroughly deserved." Hoity toity What a quantity of disinterested wrath is here thrown away ? Does our Contemporary, in his extraordinary warmth, remember that the Bill against which he so strongly protests, gives full compensation for any loss sustained by the Railway Companies, through the means of the Post office? This, we think, should silence all clamour about robbery. But we fear that the spirit of monopoly has taken possession of the Railway Companies, and that their real object, in raising such a clamour, is that they may be enabled to rob the Post-office, and consequently the public. What is there at present to prevent them from making the Bathing. exorbitant demand for the conveyance of the mails ? Bathing. As we have said already, the Post-office and the public are completely at their mercy. Is it not altogether ridiculous to suppose either that this was the intention of the Legislature in passing the rail way Bills, or that it did or could divest itself of the right and duty of interposing its authority for re gulating the enormous powers which it conferred on the Companies, when it deemed such interposition called for ? Was it necessary to insert in every railway Bill a clause reserving to the British Parliament a right to alter and amend it ? We are certainly come to a fine pass if Kings, Lords, and Commons must higgle with private in dividuals about the terms on which laws are to be made ! Yet this was the argument put forward by the opponent of the Bill. " You may," says he " make what terms you please with future applicants for such powers as we have got, but with us you cannot meddle—we have got our Bill—our purpose is served, and now we turn round and snap our fingers in your face." This is now the language of those who a little while ago came forward with cap in hand, praying to be allowed, solely for the public good, to seize upon the property of hundreds and thousands of persons against their wills, and professing their willingness to submit to any conditions, rather than not be per mitted to serve the public. They have monopolized the public communications of the country, and now they deny the right of the public to break their monopoly. But how, it is asked, can railways be called a monopoly ? There are the old roads still—if you don't like our regula tions or our charges, you may travel by coach. So indeed, you may, if 3ou can afford it ; but where are the coaches and the horses to he had ? Not along the road. The coach proprietors have put down their establishments. One of the first and most necessary consequences of opening a railway is the extinction of coach travelling on the same line. Here then is a virtual monopoly in fa vour of the railways ; and as it is created by the Legisla ture—whether directly or indirectly is of no moment— it is the duty of the Legislature to see, not merely that it does not operate injurious i ly to the public, but that the Ipublic shall derive from it the greatest possible amount of benefit. It surely never can he supposed that the public are to be curtailed of any of the advantages which they now pos sess, by the substitution of railways for other roads. It is the duty of the railway Companies to afford every facility in their power to those who use the new mode of communication. On what decent pretence, for instanc', can a carriage unaccompanied by a train, be refused to any one whose business requires extra ordinary expedition, and who is willing to pay for the extra accommodation ? Yet this, to our certain knowledge, has been done by some Companies. Such conduct we hold to be unjustifiable. It is also highly impolitic, for it is obvi ously the interest of those who embark their property in Railways, to make them popular, and that is not to be done by anything savouring of illiberality and inattention to the convenience of individuals. The Bill in question confines the interference of the Le gislature to one branch of the public service, the Post-office, and it leaves it optional with the head of that de partment either to use the engines and carriages of the railway Companies, or engines belonging to the Post office, due compensation being allowed—and that too by the fairest possible mode of adjustment—arbitrati on in either case. It has occurred to us that it might, per haps, be as well not to give the POSTMASTER-GENE RAL the unqualified power of placing other engines, &c., than those of the Company whose road is used on any railway. We think it might produce confusion if two sets of engines, servants, &c. were employed at the same time, acting under different authorities. There would al most necessarily arise some degree of jealousy between the agents of the two parties ; and collisions unfavourable to the public service, perhaps not unattended with danger, might be the consequence. That clause of the Bill, there fore, might perhaps, without injury to the measure, be modified, so that the consent of some higher authority than the Postmaster-General should be requisite before that functionary should have power to use any other engines and carriages than thos- of the Company concerned in a railway. Should any obstruction or difficulty arise in the conveyance of the mails by the Company's carriages, then the other mode might be adopted, and, in the meantime, the dread of its adoption, in the last resort, would act as a salu tary check Lyon their agents and servants. We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Wednesday. The Chamber of Peers had entered upon the discussion of the Five per Cents. Bill on Tuesday, but the debate was uninteresting. The Bills for granting a pension to the Ex-queen of Nart.cs, and defraying the expemes of the annual celebration of the July fetes, were adopted without any opposition. On Wednesday morning the Duke of NEMOURS set out for London, to assist at the Coronation of Queen VICTCRIA. Reports were current that France was resolved to fol low up the blockade of Mexico by a descent o❑ the coast, in the event of her claims being resisted any longer by the atithorities. The following are the only extracts of any interest con. tained in these journals : The Journal de la Guienne has the following article:— " A letter written from Perpignan, on the 10th June, by a Spaniard devoted to the revolution, says— " Sin, —At this moment, 11 o'clock in the morning, we have learned the following news;—ln the general order of tt e army of Catalonia, of the sth of June, notice was given to the troops that we have exPrn enced a reverse in the Campo of Tarragona, but that our loss (that of the Christinos) is only 1,500 men, and that notwithstanding this misfortune the free men crust not lose their courage, and that more fortunate events will make up for this disaster.

When the Vile de Lyons packet left New York on the 2tith of Stay, it was reporied that General Inginac, who next to the President Boyer had the greatest influence in the Government of Haiti, had been assi nated. A letter from Port au Prince of the sth of May received by one of the principal houses at Havre, confirms this unfortunate news. The assasin came to him at two in the morning, pre tending to have an important dispatch to deliver to him.

Advices from Madrid to the 13th inst. inclusive have come to hand this morning. The Carlists are stated to have 10,000 infantry and 900 cavalry in Lower Arragon, separated in four bands. Their object was to recross the Ebro before the arrival of the QUEEN'S troops, in order to form a junction with the main body of the Pretender's troops. It was generally un derstood in Madrid that the Government would no longer oppose the granting of their fueros to the Basques, in consequence of which the restoration of tranquillity was confidently anticipated. MUNAGORI was supported in the north by the influence of England, and as Don CARLOS was receiving no regular remittances from the Northern powers, the cessation of hostilities was talked of as likely to occur before the close of the present season. On the 11th the Finance Minister demanded of the Cortes the renewal of the annual Bill for collecting the taxes for the ensuing year. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day. EXETER V. EXETER. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to.day in this ease, which was argued before his Lordship some time since. The suit, which was an amicable one, was instituted for the purpose of correcting a settle merit made by the present Marquis of Exeter. His Lordship said he had looked through till pleadings and depositions, and also the three exhi bits, namely the proposal for the settlement, the lists of the estates to be included in it,and thesettlemenc itself,and he was clearly of opinion that the case came within the principle where the Court exercised a jurisdic tion in correcting settlements. It was quite apparent to his Lordship that it was not intended to include the Stamford estates within the settlement, and he should therefore make a decree that the settlement should be corrected in that respect. IN THE?O TTER OF HALL. In this case, which came before the Court a short time since for a Commission of Lunacy against Mrs. Hall, a lady far advanced in life, Mr. WIIITMAIISII this morning stated that the parties had come to a❑ arrangement which would make it unnecessary for the Court to trouble itself further about the matter. It had been agreed that new Trustees shonld be appointed, that Mrs. Hall should be allowed 2001. a year, be under the care of her daughter, and continue to live where she was at present residing. SAUNDERS V. SMITH. Mr. Jscon replied to-day in this case. His Loßps ,ll P will gis , e judgment to-morrow morning. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first Seal after Trinity Term, the Vice-Chancellor proceeded with motions, but in consequence of the absence of Mr. J ac ob, who was engaged in th 9 Lord Chancellor's Court, very few mo tions, and those totally devoid of interest, could be proceeded with, and his Honour rose at half-past eleven o'clock. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first Seal, the Court took motions. BENBOW v. THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH AND OTHERS. Mr. l'EmßEttroN moved, on behalf of the plaintiff, that an injunction m i g ht he awarded against the Duke of Marlborough, the Marquis of Blandford, the Bishop of Oxford, Mr. Latimer, and Mr. Foster, to re strain them from inducting or presenting to the Rectory of Bladen, with the Chapel of Woodstock, any person except the nominee of the plaintiff. It appeared from the statement in the bill, that in the year 1828 the Duke of Marlborough was entitled for his life to the advowson of the Rectory of Bladen with the Chapel of Woodstock, and that be contracted with the defendant, Samuel Foster, for the sale to him of the next presentation to the Rectory with the Chapel annexed, in case it should become vacant in the life of the Duke of Marlborough, for 1,3501. A deed, dated July, 1828, was accordingly entered into, and the Duke covenanted for his title in the usual manner. The Rec tory and Chapel were situate within the diocese of Oxford. In the month of February, in the year 1830, it appeared that tho presentation was put up for sale by a Mr. Smith, of Water. 100-place, the Actuary of the Eagle Assurance Office, and Mr. Benbow, the plaintiff, had communication with Mr. Smith respecting the purchzse. The Marquis of Btandford was entit!ed, under the will of the late Duke to the reversion expectant on the death of his father, and haying purchased the life interest of the father, he had the right to this presentation dining his father's life, and during his awn life; and Mr. Benbow contracted with the Marquis for the purchase of the next presentation for the Turn of 3,150/. That sum was paid by Mr. llenbow, and on the sth of April 1830, a deed made between Samuel Foster, the defendant, of the first part, the Marquis of Blandford of the second part, and Mr. Benbow, the plaintiff, of the third part, was executed. The Marquis executed the deed, anti received the money ; but by some accident Mr. Foster did not execute it, and the legal estate, therefore, still remained vcsicd in Foster. In the month of December, IS3O, Dr. Mayor, the incumbent of Bladen died, and on the 31st of that month Mr. Benbow received a note from the Marquis of Blandford, informing him of the death of the Doctor. On the 2d of January, 1838, the plaintiff was informed (to his great surprise, as he stated) that a gentleman of the name of Latimer, one of the defendants, set up some title to the presentation; and shortly afterwards the Duke of Marlborough entered a caveat in the Bishop's Registry against the induc tion of Mr. Benbow's nominee to the rectory. The Duke and the Marquis then had some dispute, the Duke alleging that the conveyance he made to the Marquis was made under an engagement that the Marquis should present one of the family to the rectory ; and the Marquis saying, that although he had agreed to present his brother, had he lived, yet that his brother had died, and therefore the engagement was at an end. In this state of things, an application was made to the Bishop of Oxford to present the plaintiff's nominee, and the answer received from the Bishop's Secretary was, that in consequence of the adverse claims made, he did not feel himself at liberty to induct a clerk till the title had been established in a Court of Justice. The plain tiff therefore filed his bill to have a decree against the Bishop to induct his clerk, and against the other defendants to prevent them presenting any other person. Those facts were supported by affidavit. Mr. FLATIIER appeared for the Bishop, who had no objection to the injunction, it the Court thought proper to issue it. Lord LANGDALE.—Of course you will consider what the effect of having no incumbent will be. Mr. FLaTtinn, submitted, as the Bishop claimed his right as Ordinary, whether it would not be sufficient to restrict the injunction to the other parties ? Mr. PEMBERTON said it was prayed expressly against the Bishop to prevent him from inducting any other person than the clerk of the plaintiff: Lord LANGDALE—He will be at liberty to employ such person to per form the duties there as he may think fit. Mr. FLAnu:a—The Ecclesiastical Law, my Lord, will provide for that. His LORDSDIP ordered the injunction to isAie. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) COLLINS V. EVANS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages for the injuries which he received in consequence of careless driving on the part of the defendant. It appeared that on the night of the 19th of November last, the plaintiff', who is a cowkeeper and farmer at Hamp stead, was returning home from town, his cart came in contact with the carriage of the defendant, a physician, and by the collision the defendant was thrown out. He was carried in a state of insensibility to Jack Straw's Castle, and was confined to his bed for ten days. The defen. dant's carriage was on the wrong side of the road. Mr. Sergeant WILDE, for the defendant, contended that Dr. Evans was not, proper!) speaking, on the wrong side, as he had to cross to the side on which the collision took place, in order to take a turning to his own house. Besides, there was no proof given by the plaintiff which of the vehicles ran against the other; and if the plaintiff ran against the defendant, he had no right to do so, because the latter was on the wrong side. But lie (Mr. Sergeant Wilde) was pre pared to prove that the defendant's carriage was actually standing still when the collision took place ; the facts being, that Dr. Evans having crossed the road, to his own horse, heard a cart coming up towards him at a rapid rate, and as the night was very dark, he pulled up as close as he could to a pond at the road-side, and called out repeatedly. The defendant answered to the call, but did not check his speed, or turn further into the road. The consequence was that his cart ran against the carriage and broke the splinter bar, whereby the horses were disen gaged and ran away. The defendant was thrown out by his own fault. [The case had not concluded when our Reporter left.] CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Scrjcant AIZABIN.) Foacrio.—George Green (18), was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering a receipt for 5/. 11s., with intent to defraud Edward Dennis Lawley. _ it appeared that the prisoner received the sum named in the indict ment to pay an account d ue f rom hi s master (Mr. Lawley) to Sher. wood and Co. the publishers ; that he delivered in a receipt to that a mount professing to be signed by Mr. Foster, a clerk in Sherwood an d Co.'s counting-house ; that he had never paid the money, and that the receipt was his own writing. The prisoner on being called upon for his defence declared he had paid the money to a person in the shop, whom he did not know.— Verdict, Guilty. The fact of a previous conviction for a similar kind of offence was put i n evidence, and the p r i soner was sentenced to 15 years' trans_ portation. About ten o'clock Mr. Justice Ltrucneut took his seat on the bench. ivIANSLIUGIITER.— Wm. Partridge, the captain of a merchantman, pleaded guilty to an indictment f or manslaughter, committed (we be lieve) on board his vessel at sea, upon a sailor named Davids, by flogging and afterwards ill-using him. The prosecution was instituted by the authorities at Liverpqol. The owner of the vessel and another gentleman, a respectable trader o f Liverpool, gave the prison er an excellent character. His LORDSHIP remarked that many of these sea-manslaughter cases verged very closely upon murder. Mr. PHILLIPS (who appeared for the prisoner) said this was not by any means so serious a case as those to which his Lordship alluded. His LORDSHIP said he would read over the depositions, and consider what course should be adopted. NEW COURT. Edward Jones was charged with uttering counterfeit money. It ap peared from the evidence of Mr. Wedgwood, of Clerkenwell, that on the .ith of June the prisoner went into his shop and purchased a pair of braces for Gd., for which he tendered a crown piece, receiving 4s. Gd. in change. It was shortly afterwards discovered that the money was counterfeit. On the 10th the prisoner Went to the shop of Mrs, Chap. man, in the same neighbourhood, and bought four pennyworth of greens, which he paid for with a bad half_crown. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sen. tenced to be imprisoned for one year. The COURT was occupied during the whole of the morning in trying cases of a similar nature.

PROVISION MARKET. In general every commodity in this market secures no business but for the present consumption. Prices are unvaried. BALTIC AND CANADIAN PRODUCE MARKET. Owing to the stocks generally of this produce being short, prices of all descriptions are firm. There is not, however, much doing. SPIRIT MARKET. The Government contract fur Rum taken yesterday had the effect of making the Market for this article flat. In prices of any kind of Spirits we quote no variation. HOP MARKET. The demand for Hops generally is very brisk, particularly for the fine ones. Monday's prices are fully supported, but not advanced. The accounts from the hop growing districts state that the fly is diminished. COLONIAL MARKETS Nothing whatever doing in British Plantation Sugar, owing to the unsettled state of the drawback. Refined Sugar is without a price. To day we had public sales of 3,554 bags Bengal Sugar, and 5,197 bags Mauritius. These sold without animation, and prices much as before. Coffee, East India, Mocha, British Plantation, and Ceylon, none of them large parcels, went without spirit at about former prices in most instances. Spices today sold rather heavy at drooping prices. Rice, 3,850 bags, sold at very firm, and indeed looking up prices. Saltpetre not much doing, and prices much as previously quoted. On the whole the market for East and West India produce has not secured any great business during the week, and prices show but little variation from those of the week preced. ing. The imports to-day are not heavy. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 21. The sales to-day amount to 3,000 bags, including 500 American taken on speculation.

The Consol market became rather heavy during the afternoon of yes terday, the speculators fearing, that the accounts received from New York, of the burning of the British steamer, Sir Robert Peel, might cause some angry discussions between the British and American Go vernments ; but private letters state that it took place by mere accident. If so, there is nothing to apprehaid, and both Governments wid con tinue their amicable dispositions.

NORFOLK, Earl Marshal. THE InGALIA. The crown in which her Majesty is to appear at the cere mony of the Coronation has just been completed by Messrs. Rundell and Bridge. It was examined and approved o f by her Majesty, and on Wednlsdav and yesterday was exhibited at Ludgate-hill to a lar g e party d of the friends of Messrs. Rundell and Bridg e , an d t o man y p ersons w h o were invit ed to see it. It is exceedingly cos tly an d e l ega nt ; the design 11 much more tasty than that of the crown of George IV- and William IV., which has been broken up. The old crown!. made for the former. of thes e monarc h s , we ighed upwards 01 71bs., and was much too large for the head of her present It Majesty. The new crown wczighs little more than 31bs. is composed of hoops of silver, enclosing a cap of deep pure, with precious stones, surmounted with a ball, covered with sm a diamonds, and having a Maltese cross of brilliants on the top of it. The cross has in its centre a splendid sapphire ; th e , rim of the crown is clustered with brilliants, and ornamen ted with fleur-de-lis and Maltese crosses, equally rich. in t he front of the Maltese cross, which is in front of the crown, Is the enormous heart-shaped ruby, once worn by the chivalrous Edward the Black Prince but now destined to adorn the head of a virgin Queen. Beneath this, in the circular rim, Is an immense oblong sapphire. There are many other precious gems, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires, and several small clus ters of drop pearls. The lower part of the crown is sur rounded with ermine. It is upon the whole a most dazz lio g and splendid crown, and does infinilc credit to those by whom it has been designed and put together. There are also at Messrs Rundell and Bridge's the coronets for the differen t members of the Royal Family; they arc very costly, but of course very inferior to the imperial diadem—the ampulla, the spoon, the offering, a wedge of pure gold, &c., and the sceptre used in the ceremony.

We are glad to find the deputation appointed here at the public meeting has proceeded to Lon don. We hive been informed that a deputation from the Directors 0, the Bank of Ireland have also proceeded to London, no doubt to Oen '. teract the exertions of the citizens.

On Saturday last the men of the ten parishes met on the heath in that county, and passed a series of resolutions, declaring the t e ti l e undying hatred to tithes. Mr. Lalor, the former representative n t e , Queen's County, Mr. Egan, en eminent distiller, and Mr. Ca ter ', F a i Lie spectable Protestant gentleman, took part in the proceedings' forced resolutions declared that the maintenance of a body of clergy bY contributions was unjust; that it was inconsistent of a Church fou'": upon the principles of admitting private judgment in matters of religion to resort for its support to compulsory assessment; that the tithe sY' te has been productive of discord and bloodshed to Ireland ; and that there fore they felt bound to seek its abolition ; and finally, that a subseril'" tion should be opened in the respective parishes of the county to fo t r . "! have just reach at a stock-purse for all purposes not prohibited by law, but chiefly for 0 , 7 legal protection of all persons that now suffer, or may hereafter be sited with persecution, for conscience sake. There was also a resolute tion adopted which declared that it would be advisable to cominun ica . , , to Mr. O'Connell, the acknowledged representative of Iris h poptut,,e opinion, that no measure will fully satisfy the people of Ireland but t appropriation of tithes to some useful public purpose, or their entir. abolition. Thanks were voted to the Irish Government, and thi s 7.; portant meeting separated. It is a strong evidence of the ben t of Pubein opinion upon this question that the idea of a compromise ha s not be the for a moment entertained at one of the numerous meetings on subject. On Monday night three gentlemen of remeetanle standing were drowned by the upsetting of a pleasure boat off Clontatf. Seven indi viduals had in the morning embarked in a yawl on a shooting and fishing excursion. They remained out till a late hour, when it was found in , - possible, from the ebbing of the tide, to bring their large boat on shor e ' and they cast anchor about a hundred and fifty yards off the landing place. It was then after ten o'clock; the night was dark, and it rain violently, and the wind blew rather freshly, so as to cause a slight swel ' They had recourse, as their only means of landing, to a small flat-b o t tomed skiff which they had in tow, and which, before they ma de mo re ,„ than twelve yams, turned under the burthen, and three of the 17, sunk to rise no more. By assistance from the shore the rest w ere sa but two of them are yet in a precarious state. The names of the le` sons drowned are Messrs.
